The palate brings sweet corn, vanilla frosting, and confectionery richness, supported by a lighter-than-expected viscosity and an acid-driven lift that cuts through the sweetness. Citrus peel and pithy brightness shape the mid-palate and flow into a dry, lightly tannic finish that keeps the whiskey refreshing. Overall, it’s a beautifully balanced 13-year bourbon where citrus and acidity counter the confectionery notes, making each sip incredibly compelling.”\u003cstrong\u003e—Skurnik Whisk(e)y Portfolio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpected to arrive in March 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53109639184749,"sku":"21174","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5327\/0827\/files\/WillettFamilyEstateRareRelease13YR_55_StraightBourbonWhiskey_Kentucky_USA.jpg?v=1773929977","url":"https:\/\/leonandsonwine.com\/products\/willett-family-estate-rare-release-13-yr-55-straight-bourbon-whiskey-kentucky-usa","provider":"Leon \u0026 Son Wine and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
